Application filed October 28, 1924. Serial 1T0. 746,598.

This invention relates to holders for golf tees.

Briefly stated, an important object of this invention is to provide a golf tee holder which may be conveniently attached to ones belt so that a number of olf tees will always be accessible to the gol er.

A further object is to provide a golf tee holder. or carrier which isof highly simpl1 I 10 fied construction, durable in use and cheap to manufacture.

Other objects and advantages will be a parent during the course of the following escription.

In the accompanying drawing form1nga part of this application and in which l ke numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,

'Figure 1 is a perspective of the lmproved golf tee holder applied.

' Figure 2 is a perspective of the improved golf tee holder detached.

Figure 3 is a perspective of a slight modification of the invention.

Figure 4 is a perspective of the form of the invention illustrated in Figure 3, the 1111- proved golf tee holder in this case be ng aplied. v

p In the drawing wherein for'the purpose of illustration are shown several improved embodiments of the invention, the numeral 5 designates abelt such as is commonly worn "by golfers. The invention forming the subject matterof this application is in the nature of an attachment for the belt 5 for carrying one or more golf tees 6. The attachment consists principally of two lengths 7 and 8 of leather or other suitable material. These lengths of material arestitched transversely at space points as indicated at 9 to define a series of pockets for receiving the shanks of the golf tees.

Particular attention is directed to the fact that the upper portion of the strip 8 is provided with spaced openings 10 which pro- Vide entrance openings to t e several pockets and which allow the approximately cone-' shaped heads of the golf tees to be ositioned beneath the upper edge of the strip Therefore, the hcadsof the 'golf tees come in contact with the strip 7 v at a point below the upper edge of the same, so that the wearer of the attachment is relieved of objectionable pressure which may be caused by the edges of the golf tee heads. For this reason, the

strip is considerably wider than the outer 4 strip 8. 7

Also, the ends of the strip 7 are extended beyond the-ends of the strip 8 and are formed with transverse incisions 14 to define loops for the reception of the belt 5.

Also, the intermediate portion of the strip 7 may be provided with a combined form retaining and attaching strap 16 which cooperates with the adjacent portion of the strip 7 in defining a loop for the reception of th belt.

In the form of the invention illustrated in Figures 3 and 4 the. strips 20 and 22 are joined by rows of transverse stitching 24 to define a plurality of pockets for the reception of the shanks of the golf tees. The strip 20 is considerably wider than the strip 22 and is of suflicient thickness to prevent the edges of the golf tee heads from exerting an objectionable pressure on the side of the golfer. That is to say, the edges of the heads of the tees cannot extend beyond the inner surface of the strip 20.

The strip 20 is extended beyond the ends of the strip 22 and is formed with transverse incisions 26 for the reception of the belt 5 of the golfer.

Particular attention is invited to the fact use;

It will be observed that the relatively large heads of the golf tees are enga portion of the rear strip which 1s extended above the outer strip so that the pointed shanks of the golf tees are forced into frictional contact with the walls of thepocket and are held in place thereby.

ged by that 7 Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is g r p A golf tee carrier comprising an lnner strip having attaching means, an outer strlp secured by spaced transverse rows of stitch ing to the inner strip thereby defining a plurality of pockets for the reception of the shanks of relatively large headed golf tees, each of said pockets having its outer strip wall provided with an entrance 0 ening for, a. tee shank, said entrance opening ing substantially below the upper edge of said outer strip, the inner strip having its upper edge extended substantially above the upper edge of the outer strip, and the portion of said outer strip above said entrance openings cooperating with the portion of said inner strip which is extended above the edge of the outer strip to enga e the relatively large heads of the golf tees or spacing the same from pressure engagement with the wearer and whereby the shanks of the golf tees are forced laterally into frictional engagement with the edges of said entrance opcnil'igs and the walls of said pockets tobe thereby held in position against loss.

In testimony whereof We afiix our signatures.
